Present: Chairman Edens, Mr. Donovan, Mr. White, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. The minutes of December 16th were read and approved. A communication from students in the dormitory, asking that better facilities be furnished for supplying hot water, was presented by Dr. Mathes and read as follows: We, the students at the Normal Dining Hall do hereby petition the board of directors of the Bellingham Normal School to furnish us with more hot water. We feel that this request is absolutely necessary as one 30-gallon tank is not sufficient to supply the kitchen alone, with the necessary amount, not speaking of water needed for the bath rooms and basement. Signed: Elva B. Krausse, Judith F Hawes, Lottie M. Flemming, Elizabeth K. Williams, Nellie C. Thompson, Lucy Crocker, Nora Corbett, Janie Wilson, Hattie Denzel, Bessie Connoly, Loretta Rue, Ellen O'Farrell, Leenie Nehl, Cora Smith, Bessie Prickman, Ethel Peck, Beatrice Benson, Edna France. After a discussion of the subject introduced by the above communication, Mr. Donovan moved, seconded by Mr. White, that Dr. Mathes be authorized to expend not to exceed $35 from the maintenance fund to replace the present inadequate tank in the Dining Hall. Motion carried unanimously. Dr. Mathes reported that Miss Ethel Birney, having completed the work required in the five years course, had been recommended by the faculty for graduation. She had spent two and one-half years in the Normal following the completion of her high school work, and had been employed to teach in the schools at Sedro-Woolley. After complimentary observations had been made about the work of Miss Birney, Mr. White moved, seconded by Mr. Donovan, that the diploma be granted. This was carried. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1906 Volume 02 - Page 036 1906-01-15 Dr. Mathes reported progress in the construction of the new conservatory, which he said was almost complete. Mr. Donovan moved that the contract for painting the greenhouse be let to P.K. Dodd at $65. Motion carried. The principal reported that the heating plant was working in a very unsatisfactory manner. This led to a long discussion about the probable defects in the system, and the improtance of having it competently inspected in order to determine what remedy is needed. Dr. Mathes introduced the subject of the summer school, saying that he would soon like to have authority to announce it, as other institutions are making preparations for their sessions. He said he desired, if possible, to secure the services of some distinguished educator, who may be on the coast during the summer to attend the National Educational Convention at San Francisco, to give a series of lectures. The members of the Board informally expressed themselves as in favor of the summer session without taking any final action on the subject. The principal was authorized to order a supply of envelopes from the state printer. On motion of Mr. White, bills were approved for vouchers to be forwarded to the state auditor January 16th as follows: Maintenance: 165 Incidental Fund, E.T. Mathes $100.77; 168 Whatcom Co. Ry. and Lt. Co. $23.10; 167 C.M. Sherman $17.25; 160 P.K. Dodd $28.00; 158 Chapman Bros. and Co. $25.00; 159 E.R.

The meeting adjourned. Mintues approved. Roy O. Hadley, clerk. John J. Edens, chairman. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1906 Volume 02 - Page 037 1906-01-30 The trustees of the normal met in special session at 5PM in Mr. White's office in the Clover block. Present: Chairman Edens, Mr. Donovan, Mr. White, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. Dr. Mathes reported that the faculty had recommended Miss May D. Fisher of Seattle and Miss Sadie Fasken of Cashmere for secondary five year certification, each having completed the required work in a satisfactory manner. The principal spoke well of the work done by these students. Miss Fisher, he said, had been employed to teach at Palouse, and Miss Fasken at Anacortes. Mr. Conovan moved, seconded by Mr. White, that the certificate be granted as recommended by the faculty. An informal discussion arose as a result of the newspaper stories about race prejudice among the students of the Normal, growing out of the arrival of Miss Clark, from Seattle, as a student. Dr. Mathes stated that, so far as he knew, no such feeling existed, and he explained the coming of Miss Clark, who, with her cousin had talked over the possibility of any race prejudice as an outgrowth of her presence at the school. At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr. Donovan introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted with the understanding that it be published in the Herald which had given publicity to the story that a feeling of bitterness had developed at the normal. The resolution was: Whereas, certain misleading statements have been published regarding the race question at the Bellingham Normal School, resolved that the school is for the benefit of all the people of the State of Washington, regardless of color, race or politics, good work and good morals being the essential required of students." Mr. Donovan moved that a contract for $50 be made with Mr. Dewis to put in an additional water tank for supplying the Normal Dining hall with water, in accordance with the plan reported by Dr. Mathes. Motion carried. Mr. Edens made a report on the problem of fertilizing the campus with manure. He said that good manure is scarce, but that he had finally been able to locate a supply, part from the stables of Charles E. Lind, and part from through A.H. Montgomery. He suggested expending $500, dividing it between C.D. Comtgomery and C.D. Lind. Mr. Donovan moved that Mr. Edens report be approved, and that the carrying out of the plan he suggested be left with him. The meeting adjourned. Minutes approved. Roy O Hadley, clerk. John J. Edens, chairman. ##

Present: Chairman Edens, Mr. Donovan, Mr. White, Dr. Mathes and the clerk. Minutes of the meeting of August 12, August 24 and September 5 were read and approved. E.E. White presented his oath of office under appointment as trustee for the term from March 2, 1905, to March 2, 1911, and took his seat as a member of the board. J.J. Edens was nominated by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Donovan, for chairman of the Board. Mr. White put the motion, which was carried. Mr. Edens thanked the other members of the board and accepted. Mr. Donovan moved that the insurance policies on the dormitory building be referred back to the agents, requesting Kline and Van Wyck to make one out for three years at the newly fixed rate for $1,500 and likewise requesting L.H. Daldy and Co. to make out their policy for three years for $1,500. The motion was seconded by Mr. White and carried. Mr. Donovan requested the clerk to look up the old policy on the dormitory, finding and reporting when it expires. During the discussion, the fact that no insurance is carried on the Normal building, was brought out. On motion of Mr. Donovan, the bill of Thiel and Welter for furniture for the dormitory, was ordered paid, subject to correction in the item charging $55 for ten bed couches instead of $50, if, on investigation, Dr. Mathes finds that such correction should be made. On Motion of Mr. White, J.S. Sheckey, who had appeared before the board and explained his bill, was ordered paid $62.50 as the balance due on materials for the fence, which he had purchased. Dr. Mathes made a verbal report on the effect of the vaccination order of the Board of Health on the need of a fence under the heating pipe from the Normal to the dormitory, which had not been built because no one was available to do the grading; on the new funds coming in from the dormitory, and the library and locker fees. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1905 Volume 02 - Page 032 1905-10-17 Dr. Mathes was instructed to include the fees received from lockers, with the established incidental fund, but to deposit the income from the dormitory separately. Mr. Donovan moved that it be the sense of the Board that as appropriation of $550 be provided from the Science fund of the State appropriation for the erection of a lecture room and green house, adjoining the Normal, subject to plans to be approved later. The motion carried. Dr. Mathes reported having engaged Charles Pothoran, Herman Smith, and Roger Williams, students, as assistant janitors at $9 per month, each, and Charles D. Jones, student, as assistant to the librarian, at $6 per month, in accordance with instructions of the trustees. Dr. Mathes further reported having engaged H.D. Boyd at the rate of $10 per month to assist in teaching Algebra during the first semester. This action was approved. Mr. Donovan moved, seconded by Mr. White, that the clerk be instructed not to pay salary warrants to any members of the faculty who have failed to sign their contracts. The clerk was further instructed to notify any members who have not executed their contracts, as submitted for the year 1905-1906, that this must be done before October 31. Bills were approved for allowance as follows: to be forwarded to the auditor October 18: Maintenance: 97 J.N. Selby and Co. $156.45; 83 E.R.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1905 Volume 02 - Page 015 1905-06-10 On motion, a recess was then taken until an adjourned session, which should be held at the call of the chairman. Roy O. Hadley, clerk. 1905-16-15 The adjourned session of the regular June meeting was called to order at 2:30 in the office of the Principal. Present: Chairman Edens, Trustee Donovan, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. The following communication, explaining the cause of his absence, was received from Mr. Teck, and ordered palced on the minutes: Bellingham, Washington June 15, 1905. Hon. John J. Edens, Chairman. Board of Trustees State Normal School, Bellingham, Washinton. Dear Sir: I beg leave to explain my absence from the meeting of the Board of Trustees called for 2 o'clock today for the purpose of considering bids on the construction of an additionto the dining hall or dormitory, and the election of a faculty for the esnuing term or biennial period. While I am willing to act, and consider it my duty to act, in all matters of temporary and urgent importance, I do not feel that, in view of the fact that my commission as trustee expired March 3, 1905, I have logical authority to join in a contract involving the election of and entire faculty for a period of a year in advance. I do not consider that such action would be just to my successor, who may be appointed tomorrow and who will have to deal with the faculty when I retire. I understand that the legal term of the trustees begins with June 13, and as no successor to myself has been appointed for the unexpired legal term at the time my commission expired, March 3, 1905, and as the beginning of the suceeding legal term has already passed without bringing forth the announcement of my successor, as had been promised by the Governor, I feel that my authority as a member of the board should be strictly limited to action upon matters of temporary urgency, and should not have to do with a vital and lasting contrct, such as the election of the principal and faculty. I ask that the board direct the clerk to enter a copy of this communication as a part of the record of today's meeting, and have the honor to remain, sincerely yours, (Signed) Frank C. Teck. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1905 Volume 02 - Page 016 1905-06-15 Sealed bids for the moving and enlarging of the dining hall were opened as follows: Booker and Campbell $3,474; S.McNeil $3,821; Boyd and Neble $3,340. Each bid was accompanied by the required certified check for 5 percent of the amount of the bid. On motion of Mr. Donovan, the contract was unanimously awarded to Boyd and Noble as the lowest responsible bidders. The plans and specifications submitted by A. Lee for the dormitory improvement were formally adopted. Mr. Lee was engaged as architect and superintendent at a compensation of 5% of the contract price, with the reservation that additional compensation may be allowed for services that may be required in addition to the prescribed work. Bill amounting to $56.63 for historical books purchased from England some time ago, was authorized paid from the Library Bank Fund. Dr. Mathes reported that the faculty, at a recent meeting, voted an expression of thanks to the Board of Trustees for the appropriation of $25 to each member for the purpose of visiting schools. The matter of purchasing the second hand furniture in the dining hall, was left entirely in the hands of Dr. Mathes. The clerk was instructed to request the city council to establish the grade in the block on high street in front of the Normal school campus, after which AL R. Campbell will be employed to set stakes for guidance in construction the new fence and walk. The following resolution, offered by Mr. Donovan, was unanimously adopted: Whereas: The State Board of Higher Education has authorized the re-organization of the courses of study and requirements for work in State Normal schools: Be it resolved: that it is the sense of this board that the general plan of employment of teachers and employees, for indefinite terms, shall be and is hereby discontinued. Resolved further, that the terms of employment of all teachers and other regular employees of this institution shall cease on August 31st, 1905, on which date existing contracts expire. Resolved further, that all members of the faculty, and other employees of the institution hereafter employed, shall be engaged for a definite period of time, and a contract shall be executed for the term of employment. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1905 Volume 02 - Page 017 1905-06-15 Resolved furhter: that all teachers or employees shall be assigned their duties in the institution by the principal and shall be directly responsible to him for their work and conduct in connection with the institution, under such regulations as shall be prescribed by the board of trustees. Mr. Donovan then spoke on the duty of the Board in re-(?) members of the faculty insofar as they were recommended by Dr. Mathes, unless some serious objection stood in the (?) of such action. He then offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved: that Dr. E.T. Mathes be elected principal of the Bellingham Normal School for the term of four years, ending August 31st, 1909, at a salary of $3,000 per year for the first year, $3,250 for the second year, and at a salary for the last two years to be determined by the board, but not to be less than $3,250 per annum. On motion of Mr. Donovan, the following resolution with reference to engaging teachers, was unanimously adopted: Resolved that all instructors, excepting the instructors in the training school, now employed at the Normal, be re-engaged for the term of one year, ending August 31st, 1906. Resolved: That Miss Edna Horner be re-engaged as instructor in the training school as Grammar Grade Critic Teacher, and Miss Catherine Montgomery be re-engaged as Primary Grade Critic, both for the year ending August 31st, 1906. Dr. Mathes was instructed to be prepared, at a later meeting of the board of trustees, with recommendations to fill the places in the faculty declared vacant by the foregoing resolution, and not filled at this meeting. The matter of salaries was then taken up, and fixed for the year August 31st, 1905, to August 31st, 1906 as follows: Ada Hogle $1000 raised from $950; J.T. Forrest $1550 raised from $1500; W.

Present: Chariman Edens, Trustee Donovan, Dr. Mathes and the clerk. On the matter of having grade established on High Street, in front of the campus before the fence and walk are built, the clerk reported having requested the city council to order grade established, and that the request had been granted. Mr. Donovan stated that he would endeavor to have Mr. Hyatt and the city engineer confer in order that the grade will conform with certain plans being worked out for the improvement of the hill side streets. Mr. Donovan moved that Miss Cooper, secretary to the principal, and Miss Wilson, librarian, be re-employed for the year Aufust 31, 1905 to August 31, 1906 at the salaries fixed for these position June 15. Mr. Donovan moved that the clerk be instructed to notify P.W. Pierce, that his services as fireman of the Normal will not be needed after July 1st., and also to request that he vacate, by that time, the rooms in which he is living at the school building. Motion carried. Dr. Mathes was also requested to inform to gardener, Mr. Parsons, that he would be employed at his present work during the summer, and that he would labor be given a trial at assisting in the janitor work of the building for the winter. When the question of the wood supply for the coming year was taken up, Dr. Mathes reported that there are on hand about fifty cords of body fir, and fifteen to eighteen cords of alder. Mr. Donovan moved that the clerk be instructed to publish a call for bids to supply 250 cords of wood, delivered on the Normal campus not later than October 14, the call to be made with the reservation that contracts may be let for smaller amounts; and with the privilege of rejecting any or all bids. The wood must be body fir, first growth, or second growth fir with no sticks less than 3 inches in diameter and all sticks over 5 inches split. The contract will require that work on its fulfillment begin within thirty days after the time it is let. Dr. Mathes reported that the furniture in the dining hall, which- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1905 Volume 02 - Page 019 1905-06-22 was being offered for sale to the school, would be worth about $150 for the pieces desirable to purchase. He was authorized to close the purchase for any of it he considered worth securing. Dr. Mathes announced his decision to remain with the institution as principal for one year, with the understanding that he would go to Whitworth college as its president at the end of that time, provided the trustees there should consent to wait for him. He was authorized, on the trip east which he would take within a few days, to investigate the credentials of applicants for vacancies in the Normal faculty, especially for the training school, and be prepared to make recommendations on his return. The trustees ordered the clerk to notify Boyd and Noble, contractors on the Normal dormitory, that surety bonds would be required in compliance with the contract for the work.

Present - chairman Edens, Trustee Teck, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. The minutes of April 22 were read and approved. On taking up discussion of the subject of building a fence for the campus, J.S. Sheckey, who had prepared designs and estimates on the cost, appeared before the board. His figures on a 36 inch picket fence, with two gates and posts six or seven feet high, were $305. This included gates and was without baseboards. On six feet walks replacing the old ones on the campus, Mr. Sheekey's estimates was $215. A rough estimate of Mr. Walker on the fence was 600 feet at $0.33 per foot. Starthie and Buzzard submitted bids and designs for a 42-inch fence of 3/8 inch pickets, with posts eight feet apart, at 74 cents per foot, and $3.50 extra for gates. The cost was the same on two other designs with 7/16 inch pickets. The Washington Wire works of Seattle submitted an estimate of $500 with single gates at $3.00 extra, double at $7.00, gate posts at $4.50, and freight at $1.50. The reported of Architect Lee was submitted on the extent of the damages done to the Normal building by the blast in the neighboring stone quarry on April 6. This showed charges for repairs, amounting to $265.64, of which $218.45 was for window repairs by Cornish and Mitchell, and $47.19 for repairing cracks in the wall by Becker and Campbell. The clerk was ordered to forward a copy of this report to Martin Siersdorfer, who operates the quarry, together with duplicate bills from the firms doing the work, and a copy of the letter of instructions from attorney general, setting forth opinion as to the liability for damage. With these, notice was ordered given Mr. Siersdorfer that a check from him payable to the chairman of the Board of Trustees, would be accepted as liquidating the claim. On motion of Mr. Teck, bills passed upon by the board were ordered approved for payment as follows: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1905 Volume 02 - Page 006 1905-05-13 MAINTENANCE: 6 Morse Hardware $11.57; 7 J.N. Selby $2.65; 8 P.K.

Lind $194.93; LIBRARY BANK: Pacific Bindery $28.00. Meeting adjourned. Minutes approved June 10, 1905. Roy O. Hadley, clerk. John J. Edens, chairman board of trustees. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1905 Volume 02 - Page 007 1905-05-29 Called meeting of the Normal Trustees in the office of the principal was attended by Chairman Edens, Trustees Donovan and Teck, Dr. Mathes and the clerk. Dr. Mathes reported having ordered the campus stakes set by A.R. Campbell. The bids on sidewalk to be built in front of the campus were taken up for consideration. The bid of G.W. Walker was the lowest, but appeared to be less than the cost of material and labor that would of necessity enter into such a walk as the one required by the directors. Mr. Donovan moved that the clerk write a letter to Mr. Walker giving him a chance to revise his bid, with the understanding that he might be expected to furnish surety bend: that only No. 1, merchantable timeber, s ls., would be accepted; and that three lines of sleepers, 4x6, would be required. Mr. Teck seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous vote. When the question of the fence in front of the campus was taken up, Mr. Donovan moved that J.S. Shockey be notified that his bid of $325 would be accepted in accordance with the specifications, provided that moulding is nailed along the railings and further to announce that contract would be finally authorized at the meeting June 10. Mr. Teck seconded the motion, which was carried. On motion of Mr. Donovan, the clerk was instructed to write a letter to Black, Kindall and Kenyon, attorneys for Martin Siersdorfer, giving opportunity for him to settle the claim for damages done to the Normal building by the blast in his stone quarry of April 6, by paying, before the regular meeting of the trustees on June 10, the amount of the Cornish-Mitchell bill (?) windows. The clerk was instructed (?) by no means covers all the damages to windows alone, and includes none of the injury to the building walls, but that all additional claims would be waved and cancelled if a check is received from Mr. Siersdorfer covering the amount named before June 10. Should he fail to take advantage of this opportunity for settlement, the entire matter would- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1905 Volume 02 - Page 008 1905-05-29 be placed in the hands of the State Attorney General to adjust the claim which would under these conditions be much larger than any figures heretofore presented. Architect Lee reported his estimate of the contemplated moving and enlargement of the Dining Hall, according to plans made, at $4,300.00. On motion of Mr. Donovan, Mr. Lee was instructed to remodel these plans eliminating the stone foundation, reducing the annex by four feet, leaving the upper three rooms so that they might be finished or not, as advisable, and altering the specifications so that the cost would not exceed $3,500.00. Meeting adjourned. Minutes approved, June 10, 1905. Clerk. Chairman. ##

The plan contemplated would be to go in a special car, appropriately decorated, and to live in that car during the time at Portland. The class members would assess themselves $10 each and would give entertainments to raise funds in helping defray the expenses.

Principal Mathes reported that he had received a request from the state librarian for 350 copies of the school's catalogue, and that he had not enough left to comply with it. It was ordered that copies of the next quarterly bulletin he sent instead. Principal Mathes laid before the board the question of having janitor Lemach organize from among the student boys residing near the building, a fire company. He explained that his plan contemplated having additional hose attached to the hydrants on the school campus, and that the boys were to be drilled in the handling of it, so that in case of the breaking out of a conflagation, they could effectively aid in its subjugation. The matter was left to the principal to further work out and report upon. The clerk was directed to communicate in writing to the mayor and city council the intention of the trustees to enforce their rule heretofore made against trespassing on the campus by men with teams, and to warn them that the next offender would be prosecuted. These vouchers were ordered certified to the state auditor that warrants might issue: Wh. Sash and Door Co. $1.80; O.K. Dodd $9.00; Collins and Co. $7.79; A.T. Thompson and Co. $20; L.H.

Then the board to pay to the original instructor in the form of an annual rental, a sum which will in six years repay him the $1000. The board approved of the suggestion and authorized the Principal and Clerk to find the man willing to put up the $1000 expressing their willingness could he be found to expend the remaining $500. A communication was read from Miss Gertrude Earhart expressing her willingness to return to her position in the school if she were given $950 per year.

Trustee Edens said- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1903 Volume 01 - Page 250 1903-05-14 that he was very proud of the faculty of the school as at present constituted and that he would hate very much that any action of the board should result in its being broken up. He was convinced from the inquiries which he had made that the same high estimation he held of the faculty was shared by the people generally over the state. He closed asking in the interest of Harmony that the resolution employing the tachers and (?) their salaries, adopted at the meeting of March 23rd be reconsidered and amended in certain instances. Thereupon trustee Teck moved that the resolution be reconsidered and it was by a unanimous vote. Chairman White then declared the resolution to then be again before the board. Trustee Edens moved that that line wherein the salary of Miss Frances Hays was fixed at $1050 dollars per annum be amended to read $1150 per annum. The amendment was adopted.
